    Ep 22 | Practicing With: Marc de Swaan Arons

    What does real growth actually look like — and does the future of business require a fundamentally different kind of leader? In this episode, we sit down with Marc de Swaan Arons, founder of the Institute for Real Growth (IRG), one of the leading thinkers on the future of marketing and business leadership. With over three decades working with global brands and CMOs — from his career at Unilever to founding the consulting firm Effective Brands — Marc now works with senior leaders at companies like Coca-Cola, MasterCard, and Nestlé to reimagine what growth means in a stakeholder economy. We explore how intangible assets now make up 80% of a company's value, why exhausted marketers are a systemic risk, and what it truly takes to lead from a place of strength in a world demanding more from business than ever before.

    Ep 21 | Founder to Founder: From Volatility to Rhythm

    In this Founder to Founder episode of The Practice Podcast, Jessica and Kristi recap six months of navigating major unknowns at SORCE: shifting from primarily enterprise engagements toward serving leaders directly, learning who is truly ready for energetic literacy, finding authentic language that balances practical frameworks with inner work, and building regenerative financial models with clear boundaries. They describe how enterprise wasn’t abandoned but approached differently, and share what they’ve learned about the high-performing, change-agent leaders drawn to their work. They discuss prioritizing community needs over “efficient” scaling, maintaining integrity by pricing for the time real transformation requires, and measuring energy through HRV data while using “warm data” from somatic experience. They close with upcoming unknowns, including launching a certification, moving to annual commitments in the community, and allowing growth to unfold at its natural pace. FOLLOW US!
